Review on the heating function and storage capacity of the Newair 250 count humidor.
Update 4/9/22: I have been monitoring the heating function closely over the last few months. I have 3 temperature sensors inside, all read the same. My house is at 68F and humidor is set to 70F. The readings inside range from 68-69F. If I move the setpoint up to 74F, the display moves up slowly to 74F after a few hours, but all 3 sensors inside still read 68-69F. It appears my unit is not heating at all, even though the display moves up to 74. Maybe I got a bad unit? I'd like to hear from others if their humidor is actually heating. Other than the unit does not heat, I really like it. It's a good size and looks nice.

I like the light you add, will you make a video on how you add the lights ? I will like to do that on mine.

@ericfrank9491 2 года назад

I'll do a video in the near future on the lights. The only trick I did was I cut the cord in half, poked a hole in the center of the window seal (top and bottom), then pulled the cord through the seal. Then had to resolder the wires and insulate them with heat shrink. This way the cord is in the seal, not laying in front of the seal creating a small gap. Not sure how much this helps, but there is no gap at all in the seal. It's a bit of extra work but only took 15 minutes. I used the Govee brand LED lights from Amazon (around $15) and stuck them on the metal ledge around the window.

This heating feature is really bad. I wanted to buy it because i like my rooms in house to be cold but if it cant heat at desired temperature it is too expensive. Thank you for this review!

Thanks for being the only reviewer to cover the heating function on the new Newair 250’s. Being that I’m in the NE region and that the heat function models are an extra $100, it was the most important aspect in my decision making between the two 250 variants

@ericfrank9491 2 года назад

Thanks, I could not find any reviews on the heating function either. Newair also refuses to post my detailed review on their website, even after they asked me several times to post a review after I bought it. I submitted it 3 times already. I guess they don't want anyone to know the heating function doesn't work well. I have been watching the heating function closely the last month. If I go from 70F to 74F, the display does climb up to 74 after a few hours, but the 3 sensors I have inside never change from 68F, so it's not really heating at all, just the display changes. Not sure where it's getting its reading from.

Newair is garbage. Mine lasted just one year. Month after warranty could not hold temperature…defaulted to lowest temp.

@MelM0406 2 года назад

Same issue with the heat. Expected it to do a better job with the heat range. 2 degrees above ambient temperature is at most what you'll get. Nice touch with the LED's. Which ones did you use?

@ericfrank9491 2 года назад

I have the Govee brand light strip from Amazon, $24. For a better seal through the door seal, I cut the cable in half close to the connector, then stripped back the cable sheath, cut a small hole in the door seal and pushed the tiny wires through the seal, then soldered them back together. www.amazon.com/dp/B07N1CMGQQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I have this unit. It's good. I bought the 840 several months ago to replace it. I put the 250 in storage, but I'm thinking about taking it out again. The 250 has better air flow in my opinion and if you put a cigar oasis in it, it has superior humidity control too. The 840 has an issue with even humidity through the unit. The temp control on both units is spot on. The only knock I have on the 250 is the loud fans. Edit: I could pack in a lot of boxes in the 250 considering its size. All in all, good unit.

@ericfrank9491 2 года назад

Good to know. I like my 250 a lot except that it doesn't heat, but don't really need the heat now that I keep it on my main floor (not in the basement). It holds humidity well but stays around 68% with 72% Boveda 320g packs in it.

@markahdz 2 года назад

Display is way off, mine I can go up to 73-74 F and in the inside is 70F, If I lower the temperature on the display to 70F the inside is 65F, I already change the cooling kit but still the same, it looks like the logic board is the problem.

@thomassparks7094 2 года назад

I’m running into the same problem. I also noticed that mine wasn’t cooling either. The snowflake light would never come on, until I unplugged it, then plugged it back in. Have you figured anything out with yours?

@markahdz 2 года назад

@@thomassparks7094 honestly I just compensate the difference from the display and to what my hygrometers are saying, I’m leaning to the logic board, is yours still under warranty ? If you are on Facebook we have a small group called the humidor hobbyist, you can see a few modifications to where you can basically rip their system and control it with your own, know if your unit is still under warranty don’t hesitate and give them a call they will make it right.

@thomassparks7094 2 года назад

@@markahdz are you replacing the system for others, or was this just your own?

@markahdz 2 года назад

@@thomassparks7094 I haven’t replace it since mine is under warranty, I changed the cooling kit but it was still doing the same so is the control board but honestly I got tired of waiting so I just compensate the display to what ever is inside the humidor.

Nice led strips ! Where did you get them?

@ericfrank9491 Год назад

Amazon, Govee brand

Hi. How long did you season for? Did you use 84% boveda by any chance?

@ericfrank9491 Год назад

I just used the water tray that came with it and wiped down the racks with distilled water. I let it season for 2-3 days. It holds 70% humidity all the time with 2 of the large 320g 72% Boveda bags. The bags last about 6-9 months. I re-use the bags too for a few times. Just let them soak in water for 5 days and they will fill back up.

@@ericfrank9491 thanks 🙏🏼 appreciate the reply

@christopherly Год назад

Sorry to bother again but how does one recalibrate the built in hygrometer. I believe mine is showing a +4% rh. I have other hygrometers in there and they are both showing lower. Wasn’t sure if it’s even possible to recalibrate

@ericfrank9491 Год назад

Not sure, mine was accurate, so never looked into it.

@seanlowkey9388 2 года назад

Can you do a video on the led’s

@Barbelldad Год назад

Thank you for the review. Where did you put your Boveda pack(s) at ?

@ericfrank9491 Год назад

I have two 320g packs. One upright along the side of the middle shelf and one on top of a box at the back. Still enough room to fit the boxes in with the pack on the side.
